The Burmese opposition politician and a former General Secretary of the National League for Democracy Aung San Suu Kyi's life story is going to be adapted into movie.Director Luc Besson is working on the film.The movie is entitled "The Lady" and is topbilled by Michelle Yeoh.

The film will chart her remarkable journey from housewife bringing up her children in Oxford to taking on the power of Burma’s generals by becoming opposition leader.
It will be set between 1988 – when Aung San Suu Kyi left Oxford to visit her sick mother and ended up staying – and 1999, the year Aris died after being diagnosed with cancer. Aris had been forbidden from entering Burma, a decision that left Aung San Suu Kyi with the almost impossible decision of whether to stay or go.

The movie has been featured on the Time website.The Lady is slated for a worldwide release in August next year.
